How to Set Up Fritz Box with KeepSolid SmartDNS?

Important notes before you start changing DNS settings on Fritz Box Router

Your router model may have a different interface. Ensure that your device is running the most up-to-date firmware.
To unblock streaming services with our KeepSolid SmartDNS app, you have to register your IP address. Check out how to manage your IP address in the KeepSolid SmartDNS App and your KeepSolid User Office here.
Whenever your IP changes, our service will stop working for you. To avoid this, make sure to update your IP address via your User Office or KeepSolid SmartDNS app.
Before you start making any changes on your Fritz Box Router, you should save your original DNS settings for future reference. You’ll need them in case if you want to switch back to the original settings.
We also recommend you to block Google DNS addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) making some changes via your router settings. You can find the exact steps in this section of our manual: How to block Google DNS on Fritz Box Router.
